The Role

We’re looking for an IT Operations Engineer to be the face of IT at Baseten: the person who makes technology just work for our team, in the office and remotely. You’ll own day-to-day support, office IT, and new-hire onboarding, and you’ll work alongside our IT Engineers, who design the controls and automation you’ll run and improve.

This is an on-site role based in San Francisco (5 days a week).

Responsibilities

• Be the go-to point of contact for hardware, software, and access issues across a macOS-first fleet, with some Windows.
• Give every new hire a great first day, from a ready-to-go laptop to working accounts, whether they’re in the office or remote.
• Run onboarding, role changes, and offboarding through our automated workflows, and catch the exceptions they don’t cover.
• Keep the office running smoothly: conference rooms and AV, network and Wi-Fi, printers, and walk-up support on office days.
• Support new office buildouts and plan workplace IT as we grow.
• Manage IT assets and vendor relationships, including stock and shipping for remote teammates.
• Build a self-serve knowledge base and workflows that reduce ticket volume and help people help themselves.
• Find recurring friction and automate it within our AI ITSM (Serval) and existing tools, collaborating with IT Engineering on new integrations as needed.
• Handle day-to-day administration of our core SaaS tools within delegated, scoped roles.

Requirements

• 5+ years in IT support or IT operations, ideally at a fast-growing company.
• Hands-on experience supporting a macOS fleet end to end: troubleshooting login, FileVault, permission, and profile issues; enrolling devices and deploying apps and OS updates through an MDM (e.g. Kandji), including remote lock and wipe; and managing hardware through Apple Business Manager, AppleCare repairs, and reimaging for redeployment.
• Hands-on experience administrating Google Workspace, Slack, and Zoom.
• Experience with conference room, AV, and office network setup and troubleshooting.
• Flexibility to support events in the evening may be occasionally required.
• Experience with automation or scripting to streamline repetitive work.
• Excellent communication and a real care for the support experience.
• Strong organization across competing priorities in a fast-paced environment.
• Ability to be in our San Francisco office 5 days a week and lift standard IT equipment.
